        investigating reports of torture before the nineteenth century would have 
        had a pretty easy time of it. That's because a good many religions and 
        states practised torture as official policy, out in the open without any 
        embarrassment. </FONT></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.newint.org/issue327/deny.htm"><FONT size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"> Since then, 
        however, a thick fog of shame has come to surround its use, and ever-more 
        elaborate legal prohibitions have evolved. Now governments that practise 
        torture often do so behind elaborate charades of secrecy, denial and hypocrisy. 
        </FONT></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.newint.org/issue327/deny.htm"><FONT size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"> Torturers 
        and their bureaucrats during the Argentine military dictatorship (1976-83) 
        seldom referred to 'torture' as such. Instead we heard of 'interrogation', 
        'intensive therapy', 'persuasion' or simply 'work', with torture rooms 
        referred to as 'operating theatres'. Euphemistic references to 'excesses' 
        and 'certain methods' fill Argentine Government reports into its own violence.</FONT></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/9E2FC681-EF6C-4A25-88BA-025AAE066648/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
